MANKATO, Minn. – Sam Bradford didn’t know what to expect when he steered onto the campus of Mankato State University, Mankato on Wednesday.
What he discovered was a sea of Purple that stretched nearly the entire length of the sidewalk outside Julia Sears Residence Hall.
“I thought it was really cool today to pull in and see all of our fans out there,” Bradford said. “I think that’s pretty special, and it just speaks to how great our fans are.”
After joining the Vikings on Sept. 3 through a whirlwind trade following Teddy Bridgewater’s season-ending knee injury, Bradford has enjoyed his first offseason in Minnesota.
